"Chen Xing, in the future, it will be the world of your young people, you have to work hard, and the Zhang family will rely on your generation to stand up in the future." Zhang Xiaoru looked at Chen Xing, her eyes full of expectation.

"Auntie, we will." Chen Xing nodded and replied, looking at Zhang Xiaoru's elder-like expectant gaze, Chen Xing was a little confused in his heart, he didn't know who he was answering on behalf of, what the situation of the Zhang family would be like in the future, no one could say clearly, he was not too confident in the future of the Zhang family, no matter what, the Zhang family went downhill is certain, the old man Zhang represents the most glorious time of the Zhang family, a family cannot always stand at the peak of power, prosperity and decline, this is unavoidable.

Chen Xing and Zhang Xiaoru whispered to each other, I don't know if it was the sound of the two or disturbed the old man's rest, I saw that the old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were dim, and when he saw Chen Xing on the side, his head moved slightly, Chen Xing saw this, hurriedly sat a little closer, and said with concern, "Grandpa, how do you feel?" ”

"It's fine." Old Man Zhang opened his mouth to speak, speaking very slowly, and his voice was obviously lacking in qi.

Chen Xing looked at the old man's appearance, a little sad, he remembered that at this time last year, the old man was still in good health, although he was also an elderly person, but his voice was still full of energy, and his spirit was strong, but in a year's time, it had changed so much, the old man's body, in the face of the invasion of disease, seemed so vulnerable.

"Chen Xing, why are you here, shouldn't you be in Nanzhou." Old man Zhang asked, he looked sluggish, but his brain was clear, although he was in a coma most of the time, but as long as he woke up, there was no such confusion as others imagined.

"Grandpa, I happened to be in the capital today, and I have something to do." Chen Xing replied.

"Oh." Old Man Zhang answered, and his eyes were about to close again.

"Dad, do you feel better today?" Zhang Xiaoru on the side saw that her father was about to close her eyes again, and couldn't wait to ask, from last night to now, it was the first time that her father woke up, Zhang Xiaoru knew that the result must be the same, but she still couldn't help asking, how much she hoped to hear her father say these words.

"Good, good." Old Man Zhang showed a slight smile on his face.

Chen Xing and Zhang Xiaoru looked at it, but there was no happy look on their faces, some were only bitter, looking at the old man's expression, everyone knew that the old man was saying comforting words.

Xu was because of Zhang Xiaoru's questioning, and the eyes that Old Man Zhang was about to close opened a little more, "What about Xiao Xiao, are you outside?" ”

"Yes, I'll call him in." When Chen Xing heard this, he immediately stood up and walked outside to call Xiao Yuan.

"Secretary Xiao, the old man called you." Chen Xing stood at the door and said to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan's expression was shocked, and he immediately walked inside, the old man called him for the first time since he was hospitalized.

Walking into the inner ward, when Xiao Yuan saw the appearance of the old man, even if he was with him in the hospital every day, he couldn't help but feel sad at this time.

"Chief." Xiao Yuan stood respectfully in front of the hospital bed.

"Xiao Xiao, sit down." Old man Zhang smiled at Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan has been his life secretary for many years, and Old Man Zhang has always regarded Xiao Yuan as a junior, but when he woke up today, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuan's whereabouts had not been arranged, and Old Man Zhang wanted to implement this matter first, he was afraid that he would forget it next time he woke up, and he didn't know how much time was left.

Xiao Yuan sat in front of the hospital bed stiffly, not knowing what the old man had specially called him in for.

"Xiao Xiao, I told you before, let you go back to Yunbian City as the executive deputy mayor, what do you think, today when I wake up and still remember this, you will tell me together, I will arrange it for you, old man." Old Man Zhang looked at Xiao Yuan and smiled.

"Chief, I obey your arrangement." Xiao Yuan's eyes were sour, and tears almost fell, he didn't expect that Old Man Zhang had been sick for so long, and he would remember his affairs, for him, the arrangement that Old Man Zhang gave him was already very good, Xiao Yuan didn't have any reason to object, even if this arrangement was not what he liked, Xiao Yuan would not say it, he was grateful enough to Old Man Zhang in his heart.

"Just a few of us here, just treat it as a homely chat, don't be so strict." Old Man Zhang laughed, he didn't like the sad atmosphere, he had lived for such an old age, he didn't have any regrets for a long time, and the juniors were so sad, but he didn't want to see it.

Chen Xing and Zhang Xiaoru all smiled reluctantly, the old man had already seen it and had an open-minded mentality, but they couldn't achieve the same state of mind as the old man.

"Xiaoru, Xiao Yuan's matter, you help me write it down, I'm afraid I will forget it next time I wake up, if I forget, you have to remember to help me mention it to Dingping and Guohua, and you must arrange it for Xiao Xiao." Old Man Zhang looked back at his daughter, and carefully admonished him, "Xiao Xiao's future in the future, let them care more about it, and treat it as our own family." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I will." Zhang Xiaoru nodded vigorously, her eyes were already red, her father seemed to be explaining the aftermath, which made her feel extremely heavy, Zhang Xiaoru forgot to pay attention to her father at this time and said a lot more than the previous waking up.

Xiao Yuan, who was on the side, heard the old man's words, he was a man with five big and three thick, and finally couldn't help shedding tears at this time.

"Okay, I'm tired too, and I'm going to rest." Old Man Zhang smiled comfortingly, and after a short conversation, he looked extremely tired.

"Dad, do you want to eat something, you haven't eaten in a day or two." Zhang Xiaoru saw that his father was going to sleep again, so he hurriedly said.

"Eat? Is it time to eat? The old man asked in confusion, he had been groggy all day, and he had no concept of time.

"It's just a little past 12 o'clock now, it's time for lunch, by the way, the ginseng soup from the thermos flask was stewed and brought over by me in the morning, I'll go warm up, Dad, you drink a little and then go to sleep." Zhang Xiaoru stood up, lifted the thermos on the table, and immediately walked to the kitchen, his father lived in the highest ward, just like his own family, with everything in it, even better than the conditions at home.

"Let's drink a little, then." Old Man Zhang subconsciously responded, he didn't feel hungry, but he also felt that his body was soft and didn't have much strength.

In fact, Old Man Zhang eats very little now, if it weren't for the nutrient solution specially prepared for him by the hospital's expert medical team every day, I'm afraid he would not even have the strength to open his eyes, let alone sometimes wake up and talk a lot.

Zhang Xiaoru went to the kitchen to heat the ginseng soup, and after coming out, he carefully fed the old man to drink, during which the nurse from the hospital came in to check the old man's condition, and when he saw the old man wake up, the nurse hurried to notify the doctor, and several expert doctors came in to check for a while, and determined that the current situation was not to the worst point, and then left again.

Chen Xing and Xiao Yuan stayed until the old man drank the ginseng soup and fell asleep again, then left the ward, Xiao Yuan continued to sit outside, he was the old man's life secretary, except to watch here, there was nothing else to do, Chen Xing asked Xiao Yuan if he had eaten lunch, and heard that Xiao Yuan had simply eaten the meal sent from the hospital canteen, Chen Xing still invited Xiao Yuan to go out to eat together, and he still had Zhang Yi.

Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at the ward inside, but finally refused, and smiled apologetically, "Chen Xing, let's talk about it next time, I don't feel at ease to leave." ”

"Then next time." Chen Xing also nodded, Xiao Yuan's feelings for the old man are no worse than anyone in the Zhang family, to be more precise, the old man has reached his old age, and Xiao Yuan is the only one who has really been by the old man's side for the longest time, and he is almost closer than the old man's children.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Yuan, when Chen Xing went downstairs, he didn't see Zhang Yi, and called Zhang Yi, only to know that Zhang Yi was waiting in the car outside, Chen Xing walked to the parking lot, found Zhang Yi's car, and sat on it, Zhang Yi was leaning on the seat listening to music.

"Why did you go up for so long?" Zhang Yi looked at the time, "You have been up for at least half an hour." ”

"When the old man wakes up, I'll stay longer." Chen Xing said.

"Oh?" Zhang Yi sat up straight all of a sudden, and looked at Chen Xing with some complaints, "Chen Xing, why didn't you sue me, I went up immediately, I thought you were talking to your aunt, and when I saw that you hadn't come down for so long, I simply came out." ”

"Where can I remember suing you at that time?" Chen Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "Don't feel sorry, you are in the capital every day, and the next time the old man wakes up, you will always have a chance to see him." ”

"Hey, let's eat." Zhang Yi looked puzzled.

Along the way, the two of them were relatively silent, Zhang Yi drove the car and didn't talk much, Chen Xing was even more interested in talking, sitting absent-mindedly, listening to the light music in the car, Chen Xing felt that his whole brain was empty, and he didn't want to think about anything.

The two of them went to lunch, chatting happily, Zhang Yi suddenly said, "Chen Xing, shouldn't you be ready to go to graduate school?" ”

"Grad school?" Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhang Yi thoughtfully, Chen Xing understood what the other party meant, high education will be a trend for officials in the future, and now high-level officials are appointed, and the consideration of academic qualifications is also a standard, in fact, Chen Xing himself has long had this plan, but he was dragged by various things, and he occasionally thought about it, and he never did it, and Chen Xing didn't think about it himself.

"Well, it's time for you to go to graduate school, even if it's better than nothing just gilding yourself." Zhang Yi said.

"Looks like I'm going to have to put this on the agenda when I get back." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.

"You are the mayor, and it doesn't take too much of your time to go to graduate school, the school will definitely take care of your special situation, so you should have gone to study a long time ago, you have a graduate degree, and you can also write fun pavilion if you want to be promoted in the future www.biquge.info role is not." Zhang Yi smiled.

Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, what Zhang Yi said, the symbolic meaning is more than the practical meaning, but now most leading cadres go to colleges and universities to study for a postgraduate degree, and it is true that few of them have read out real talents.
